Seen him make a few tackles.. don’t remember them being very good tho lol think he scored a header as well 🤔 I was always a big fan of Lines he offers a lot of positive forward qualities that are invaluable, but he does need the right players around him to make up for his negatives We have seen the best of Lines, we dont want to see the worst of him. We dont need ex players, they are the same as all the other players, they play for the cash See, I dinnae think ye can generalise it like that. Take Linesy for example, got a Rovers promotion an at his peak went ta Sheffield Weds an did ok, then went down th divisions an we signed him back as an ‘ex player’ an he was an integral part of two more promotions. Some players (an I consider Linesy as one) just give their all as professionals an enhance clubs thru knowledge of th game, passing on help ta younger players etc, even tho obviously they aren’t as quick as they once were.

I suspect one or two of these might be heading our way Paul Coutts, Mark Duffy, Sam Finley, Josh Morris, Glenn Whelan, Harvey Saunders and Nathan Sheron. I guess if we list every player who played under JB at Fleetwood we might get one or two right?

Id trust linesy to instill a gas dna in our squad at least and that for me is worth the wage even if he doesnt start.

This thread on “incomings” is a belter..... except there are no incomings. 😉 No sign yet of the fabled 4 we were meant to have signed. Still, it filled a few pages. UTG!
ps. I’ve no problem with the fact we haven’t signed anyone yet, I’m sure we will by August.

I believe the transfer window opens two days after Joey's appointment in court.

You do have to wonder if we have actually made any offers for any players pending JB's court hearing, as if the hearing goes against JB then I doubt Wael will want to be lumbered with his players if he's no longer our manager. "Bristol Live understands the Gas and Joey Barton are yet to act on their interest in Mullin, and the increased competition may lead to other targets being prioritised now. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/bristol-rovers-transfer-blow-league-5448099

There are a lot of players available come June, no rush. I see the Headline "Fans tell Barton to bring Bodin back and Lines". Well this is a continual problem for Rovers fans, they look back on happier days and want to re live them. Truth is Bodin and Lines are both older, slower and more vunerable to injuries. Of course the faithful forget this. A big no to any ex player, ex manager, or even ex chaimen as far as I am concerned.
It's like meeting up with an old girfriend and remembering the wonderful sex you had. When you actually meet her again, you realise it was a mistke and you wouldn't want to ever have sex with her again

But there have been a few signings publicised of players released from their clubs and I guess we’ll be shopping for the same kind of player, released by other clubs. UTG!

But, if we continue with a back 3 and keep bypassing midfield, who is going to provide the opportunities? Steve, serious question mate, have you seen any signs that Joseph can manage well and, more importantly, make the right substitutions at a time where they could make a difference? KP - you did notice little Fleetwood got to the playoffs last season? He had no chance with Rovers - best players out injured most of the time since he took over, Hanlan carrying an injury since before Christmas, no strikers in the transfer window. On the one or two occasions when he fielded a decent team - including Grant and Rodman, we won. Not saying JB will set League 2 alight, we will have to wait and see! Yes but in ppg, not in actual games and with a much bigger budget than us
